You may be feeling cooperative and open to compromise for the benefit of family relationships. Because you believe a win-win situation is both possible and preferable, you may be taking on the role of family diplomat, offering various compromises until balance can be reached. You may also notice this happening in other close relationships that arenít necessarily based on geneology, but may operate as a kind of family unit. It is usually only when relationships are important to us in some way that we are willing to make the effort to cooperate. Otherwise, we just separate and go our own ways. Today you will hopefully find that your efforts toward peace in your family are well worth it.

Peace begins with each one of us as inner peace, and then it moves outward into our relationships. When we can find ways to work things out with those who are closest to us, we then can reach out into our greater communities. It ripples outward like a stone dropped onto the surface of a still lake, touching our ever-more extended family members all around the world. We can choose to see the rest of the world as family, and share the effort and joys of win-win situations with those around us. Our families teach us how to interact with the world around us. Today as you seek to cooperate, you can bring peace to your immediate family as well as to the entire human family tree.
